Ready to make an impact in a global company where your work truly supports the business?
 

At Nilfisk, we are driving innovation in cleaning solutions worldwide — and our Consumer Division depends on accurate, proactive financial operations. If you’re energized by partnering with the business, improving processes, and owning your area of expertise, this role offers the perfect opportunity to grow, contribute, and develop within an international environment.

Major Function

As an Accounting Specialist with a focus on Accounts Receivable (AR), you will play a key role in our Consumer Division by ensuring timely customer payments, maintaining accurate financial records, and supporting teams with insights that strengthen our order‑to‑cash processes.

Based in Mataró (hybrid), you will collaborate with internal stakeholders across Europe as well as external customers to resolve billing issues, manage credit processes, and drive continuous improvement in AR activities.

Essential Responsibilities

• Be a go-to partner for the business by providing insights on customer accounts and supporting invoice-related questions.
• Collaborate closely with our Customer Care hubs to ensure a smooth billing and collection process.
• Monitor customer accounts, ensuring timely payments and accurate account balances, escalating issues when needed.
• Proactively investigate and resolve payment discrepancies and unapplied cash
• Perform credit checks, release blocked orders, and identify delinquent accounts requiring escalation or write‑off.
• Prepare AR reports, including aging analysis, cash flow insights, and customer account summaries to support business decision‑making.
• Participate in improvement initiatives across the order‑to‑cash process and align with in‑country AR experts on best practices.

Your New Team

You will join a supportive and collaborative community within the Consumer Division. The team works across multiple European locations and partners closely with Customer Care, Sales, and other stakeholders to ensure operational excellence.
A colleague describes the team culture as:
“We help each other succeed — everyone is approachable, knowledgeable, and ready to support whenever needed.”
You’ll be part of a group that values transparency, shared learning, and continuous improvement.

Why Join Us

At Nilfisk, we know that amazing people make amazing companies. You will join a culture built on trust, freedom, and a strong growth mindset. Here, it is OK to make mistakes — as long as you learn from them. We encourage open dialogue, curiosity, and challenging the status quo so we can find the best solutions together.

You can expect:

• An international work environment with daily cross‑border collaboration
• A hybrid setup supporting work–life balance
• Opportunities to broaden your financial expertise, especially within order‑to‑cash processes
